Fenghua,

I see another potential issue. If a software reset is
attempted idxd_device_reinit() will be called which walks
the wqs, and if a wq has the state IDXD_WQ_ENABLED it calls
idxd_wq_enable(), but the first thing idxd_wq_enable() does
is see that the state is IDXD_WQ_ENABLED and returns 0.
Without the wq enable command being sent, it will not be
re-enabled, yes?
